All-Around Amateur Solid Paint- Bred title by just three points. Rebecca and her 2009 sor- rel solid gelding were consistent in their classes bringing their all- around total to 68 points to take home the overall title, too. Irre- sistible Appeal is by Pleasurable- conclusion and out of Zooha Little Angle (TB); he was bred by John and Kari Reeg of Genoa, NE. HP AMATEUR WALK- Sabrina
TROT: Seehafer of
Ankeny, Iowa, is no stranger to winning top titles at the World Show—she took home last year’s High-Point Amateur Walk-Trot ti- tle with her sister’s horse, All That I Got. This year, Sabrina was back with her own longtime mount, Sterling Expression, and the pair captured the award once again. Most impressive, perhaps, is
that Sabrina and “Stifler” captured world championships in all three communication-focused pattern classes: showmanship, horseman- ship and equitation. That gave the duo 79 point to clinch the title. Bred by Levi and Lori Petersheim of Ashland, MO, Stiffler is by Im Tee Totally Cool and out of Jacki O Jigsaw. He’s owned by Sabri- na’s sister, Megan. HP AMATEUR POWER PERFORMANCE: Only able to attend the World Show for a short time, Lt. Col. Val Baker of Minatare, NE, focused her efforts on roping clean aboard her pair of Paints: Capital Business and Ret- ropep. The strategy paid off and helped Val successfully defend her High-Point Amateur Power Performance award, albeit with a twist: Val won the award last year with Retropep, but captured it this year with Capital Business. With “Cappy,” Val heard her- self called the winner four times in a single day: Amateur Goat Tying, Amateur Breakaway Rop-

ing, Amateur Heading and Amateur Steer Stopping. Val and Cappy earned 115 points and established a lead that simply couldn’t be equaled. The 1996 bay tobiano gelding is by Ris Key Business and out of Smooth Embrace (QH), and he was bred by Deb- bie Wellmann of Wash- ington, TX. AA
OPEN
HORSE: The points racked up early for Kiss Me At Twilight at the 2017 World Show—the pretty hunter mare took home a world championship in her first class, Junior Working Hunter, with Jer- ry Erickson. That was followed by consistent performances in her other classes. The cumulative ef- fort brought the mare’s point tally to 66, enough to edge out the top spot.
Bred by Susan Phillips of
Boerne, TX, the 2012 chestnut overo mare is by Double Up In- vestment and out of Larks Blue Sky (QH); she is owned by David Denniston of Fort Collins, CO. AA OPEN SOLID PAINT-
BRED: Hauling to the World Show from Delaware is a mara- thon trip, but it’s one Lynn Harri- son looks forward to all year long. At the World Show, she says, her talented—and tall—solid Paint- bred Super Chip My Ride is truly put to the test, competing against superstar Paints from across the country. This year, “Ozzy” com- peted in both Amateur and Open events, and by the show’s end, the 2010 bay solid gelding found himself on top of the All-Around Open Solid Paint-Bred chart. He’s taking home a world championship in Solid Paint-Bred Trail, a reserve in Solid Paint-Bred Hunter Under Saddle, and Top

Fives in Solid Paint-Bred Perfor- mance Halter Geldings and Sol- id Paint-Bred Western Pleasure; that gave him 62 points to far and away win the overall award—a first for Ozzy on the World Show stage. Owned by Lynn Harrison of Kenton, DE, Ozzy is by Zips Chocolate Chip (QH) and out of The Gypsy Tigress; he was bred by Wilson Dixon Jr. of Dover, DE. HP ENGLISH HORSE: It was a showdown of hunt-seat horses in contention for the High- Point English Horse title, but when the dust settled, it was All About The Swing who walked away with the top prize. The 2006 sorrel overo gelding earned a re- serve world championship in Se- nior Pleasure Driving with owner Anne Rosen of Evergreen, CO, in the cart; he also earned third in Senior Working Hunter and fourth in Senior Hunter Hack with Kar- en Banister, and tenth in Senior Hunter Under Saddle with Le- anne Williams. All told, that gave “Cosmo” 57 points to edge out the reserve finisher by two points. By All Time Fancy and out of Luvs To Zip, Cosmo was bred by Carol Brown from Kansas City, KS. HP WESTERN HORSE/
OSCAR CRIGLER CATTLE AWARD/SUPER GELDING:
After a hiatus from the APHA show pen for a few years—he hasn’t shown with APHA since 2014—Smart Chic Deck returned with a vengeance, dominating the 2017 World Show roping events with Jody Ramer, earning a trio of world championship titles in Senior Heading, Senior Heel- ing and Senior Steer Stopping. Coupled with a sixth in Senior Tie-Down Roping, the gelding earned 91 points toward the over- all awards—a lead that left any would-be contenders in the dust. The 2006 chestnut overo gelding by Olenas Conductor and out of Blondys Speck Deck was bred and is owned by Jon Justice of Beaumont, TX. HP OPEN EXHIBITOR:
A surge of success on the last few days of the World Show helped propel Sara Simons to the top of the High-Point Exhibitor chart. Sara piloted three world cham- pions
this year—One Flashy
Sensation in Senior Trail, Game- time Sensation in Senior Western Riding and Shes A Flatliner in 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure— along with one reserve and five Top Five finishes to earn a total of 172 points. Sara trains at her family’s Simons Show Horses in Aubrey. w
